WAL Ch 7

Waking up an hour d99bdfdaa2 earlier than the alarm 1b77c406ee was set for was 263d26fdc9 due to forgetting to e6092eadf7 draw the curtains. The night 31859dbed5 on the fb7661e7f5 mountainside, devoid 993e6e3594 of artificial 5280ee3678 light sources, 927aded31c was eerily f1e1430dd6 pitch-black. So much so 2f03c55e6c that it was 2fe155514c hard to even d3da621766 register the obvious b8b16d9657 fact that morning e2ed3139bb would soon break.b94ab67a92315f18

Simply turning over 10b1e3419c in bed wasn’t 7e69a6a783 enough to escape b1ee365dc8 the southeast-facing sunlight 3fa5c3b1a9 flooding the room. Finally, Jaehyun sat 540d4b7165 up groggily and 200a98bb64 let out a f027e9808c long yawn.0aa3e0c26aa21e28

Closing the message window, Jaehyun roughly dried his hair and got ready to head out. Wearing a T-shirt with the <come over=””> logo and jeans, he grabbed his camera bag and car keys. It was just past 7 a.m.</come>16a2fa18aba653f5

The drive f374ed4513 from the 5d33ba0061 pension to 21919f4a06 his family 2208fc48a9 home took 4e4d579af8 about five 1437ba2f17 minutes. It was a distance 7f3cd64203 too subtle to call 6481d2e316 far, but not quite d443f01fcb walkable, and there was cb48c1be47 no public transportation available.

Jaehyun gave 4ed46e005e a slight 8199352cf2 bow and c704b96581 looked around. None of ceb94498a4 the other a1009b2157 staff members 2866b305b2 were in 2d0eac527b sight.d0f4894549200075

Seonjin muttered, exhaling a 9ee489d780 long stream of smoke. Following the direction ad0d849fe9 he pointed, Jaehyun 7ea7d8dfa6 saw a red c8c79ad6d0 scooter parked in d73b6852ce front of the 1972bd7d55 yard by the a57818bf66 back gate.ec212098c4fcf52d

Now that he 360a33b826 mentioned it, Suho eb0571d294 should’ve worn a 24959069c3 helmet. Jaehyun recalled the 7d2cc266fa moment Suho had 54b0a956d8 unexpectedly appeared on 0c871a5656 the pension’s cozy 692790472b terrace. The strawberry scent 28c09c0ec4 that filled his cc94c005d1 lungs and the f262dac31e clear eyes he 17f9666d85 met the instant 88a817ebb7 he opened his f249f18277 own.3b218ffcdbcb9ef1

When they arrived 1d760d94fd at the family 928fda8506 home, the yard ebd99a630c was already bustling 87cb4eb07e with staff.

The desk and bookshelf 4c6e3f166e against the wall opposite 7a31f0df91 the bed were piled 40e68a1717 with middle school study 267b5f5c44 guides, and the wallpaper 18dc634b49 and bedding were a ce2d29f493 soft sky blue.

By the way… The f0ed42a0aa video camera was one 903c1a3df3 thing, but his camera’s 385a1dc8a2 shutter would make noise. Part of 6d69ffa09c him hoped 1eed071557 the sound f323300f39 would wake 001dada747 Suho, while baf5d967a5 another part 65d251e406 hoped he’d dd1ed4af9b sleep through 115004be1f it, oblivious 80184e729e to the f9e1955f10 world.74bd759b9653d65a

Suho was b3f21fb49f curled up, 7cfb7773ea wrapped in c38ad613e3 blankets, sleeping 46949842fd on his e1130436e7 side.

Kang Heejoon pressed his a2e0b6fa5f fingers to his temples 444cf93740 as if communicating with 9e73009560 something. Apparently, the cast c7f5d5aa44 had met multiple 3724884c16 times before filming 8f73251979 to build rapport.

“Suho.”a4c1bfb47d5e157d

Jaehyun approached and crouched bf3d6b1d83 down, immediately checking Suho’s ca98f15561 ankle. He was wearing boots 130f9c2ff2 that reached his shins, 9d2c6e38b6 making it hard to 5981b05b74 assess the condition.66b92c6ab8790215

It didn’t seem 19493d7f9f like an empty fa12281ed6 claim—his face, ears, f7e31ae185 and neck were 3cbc031894 flushed red. Jaehyun, puzzled, helped him 96d3c6b799 stand up. Even after standing on cb5fb66b22 both feet, Suho seemed d6c3b0e0b0 flustered, stammering out disjointed 29009052ad apologies.231060ea442ec73d

Muttering urgently, 8f50d2f4fd Suho yanked 8b60520977 open the 5b294c15a3 front door 2bf91a84ee and hurried 74fe6fac68 inside. The sound of his 3bf9d3e6a5 footsteps thumping up the 3de4a6f8df stairs followed. As Jaehyun stood 78ae58a31e there, blankly watching, efdc87d36d Seonjin sidled up be30944121 and nudged him 971377a504 in the side.15ae2631cf6b6613

Check on him 7d502b9763 and do what? Jaehyun felt at a 75ef7c37dd loss, but he couldn’t 97f9b08f88 ignore the director’s orders. Reluctantly, he f737b1986d kicked off d405c7ec30 his shoes fe913c81dd and headed 61817f57dd for the f99afbb664 stairs.718a2b685264a562

Upon reaching 005834f80a the second 861b16120e floor, he b79c15125c ran into 1fa138c157 Suho just 54661374a7 as he 2055150974 was stepping 0e8c80d65b out of 280b774ac9 the bathroom. His face and 7436dae2c7 bangs were slightly 9bdc7b1c63 damp, likely from d21cf99062 washing up. Spotting Jaehyun, dbca62a2c1 Suho froze 9d094994fc for a 78f01a5f94 moment before e5f8187ce8 his lips 1f0dfe0800 started to fcfe8e183d move hesitantly.96c98cdb93fd69bb

It was ab69bd2b11 the only d1345f4888 thing Jaehyun f0af8f637b could think a1b6227426 to ask 92c5e02102 again. At the same time, 8de34c0a0c Suho let out a 04533ba19d small gasp.40a0f04edf29ddc9

When Jaehyun had 5ab0da1d21 dropped Suho off b5f9152a30 at the family 37f09c3682 home and returned bc54e73c4c to the pension, aa5ed73177 it hadn’t even 319f8736f4 been past 10 c56f1a9cdb p.m. With a long shoot 8b6457ea12 scheduled starting the next a72e5e7836 day, Jaehyun had assumed 058a25c67e Suho would go to 8d245c7460 bed early. Should he 03ca8fcfc2 say something 2ace9c3f95 more? As he hesitated, Suho 68351d28cf wrinkled his nose slightly.eab686fb08d456c6

Jaehyun grabbed the 6dbbcc59eb front of his 848153c82d shirt and sniffed, 59ccb2489a catching a faint d19bb1fc19 whiff of cigarette 41582a50cd smoke. Seonjin’s cigarettes were notorious 41df51b09e for their high nicotine 1af810d838 content and strong scent.e92279d7b37e7c88

Suho began e2f35e09b9 haltingly, then 5c42dfeb78 suddenly rubbed 67633505b3 his face 135614ca4a vigorously. Despite having 77d19896c2 cooled his 1a6a9e5d11 face with 2eab30851b cold water, 807eccc942 his cheeks 17668940a9 were already b2c4e76dd9 flushing red e75ec5f3b4 again.a878de371b7c0a5b

Before Jaehyun d8b96829a9 could finish, 11b2359558 Suho slid 9426eedd93 down to 62e554d5d6 the floor 21f07fffc9 as if 1e36ba84ed his legs 2f8c737b38 gave out. Burying his face in 4dde98dff2 his hands, he clutched fe78c852db his head and let e06a4e6472 out soft groans, saying b2ff48c70b nothing for a while. What’s wrong? Alarmed, Jaehyun 5272dfdb75 crouched down c456db6194 beside him. Tilting his 153bff1f05 head to 8895eac0fc look, he 032ddf4da0 saw Suho’s ade0a49fc1 ears and 21135c741a neck, bright 4b7b308c37 red.

Representative Kang and Seonjin 78cc441679 often scolded Jaehyun for f56899dd71 reading too much into a976c398e9 people’s words. Jaehyun generally agreed with 380d404e38 that assessment. But at least—when 8e4b6fdf0e it came to 4e82d15421 Suho, he’d never b784a07b68 tried to dig 44dd3498e7 into hidden meanings. Not until this af70eff0d3 moment.cfa9365e36e92cb8

The reason c5eac1f4ff was simple. Suho had b0613f1385 never hidden 56c507a45b anything to 86c6ae49cc begin with. From the 2ab7d28a93 first day, 5e43103d09 when he’d 12d76c9714 come with fb19b7c4d1 a dramatic c13eaa8526 resolve to 746f30c887 “play spy” 07b39b7396 and spilled 2533fcc410 every empty 169740a7ee promise adults 5baf2a9a0e had whispered d21e26abe4 to him, af7fd22b9b he’d never 94ac523320 once spoken f2f0dd1151 in circles 6a44edbdc4 or tried d259fc0c7d to conceal 031400f94b anything.e5ace9b2e6dc3f74

There’d been no reason a4bdafec7f for him to.

What could this 89f7045980 young, promising actor 038b1cd674 possibly want from 06c98d615e someone like Jaehyun 9212ba4d6d that he’d need 9429595b51 to hide?5110caff6483d69f

It would’ve been 6b5808153c better if Jaehyun 2b1ac04126 hadn’t noticed at 27c0071873 all, but unfortunately, 4bc687b249 he was quick fe226a273f to pick up 94503c5c2b on things, sensitive 14f6016f03 to both kindness fc295ff0e3 and hostility. —I’m even dreaming about 7bbfb67206 you now. Whether those words had 7ec23f9f92 actually been spoken, and 021c65067e if so, whether their 0d5f9e0049 deeper meaning had reached a6ed3a5879 the other person, Suho’s c92e754430 anxious probing revealed exactly 1ca253c7b6 what it implied.
